Well, my Mom works for the Red Cross, and they do some great work. I am proud of what she does, and have been donating to them for 15 years (since she started working there). I have done some volunteer work for them as well.
No non-profit organization is perfect. My husband has worked for lots of them. They are all corrupt in some way or have issues with tracking donations, or staffing, or expenses or fundraising. But at least the Red Cross tries.

from family experience when we were in need during WW1 (my Mom) and WW2 (my family) in Europe, we could always count on the Salvation Army helping us. From school we HAD to go around and beg for money for the red cross. My Mom made me return the bin empty, the Red Cross did not help us during both wars in Belgium so I stick with the Salvation Army even today.By the way we were all Catholics in Belgium and we were never asked about our religious affiliations.

I don't support charity as most of them spend most of the money on "administrative expenses" instead of the help.

I give to my kids.
I will give to the first food program that will put sterilization drugs in the food they give to stop the problem, not just cover it up.
